Hello!! It's been a while since we blogged here at
hou, but there is solid reason for our radio silence. In the last few months we've gone from being a company in the wings to a company that's very much on the scene if not creating the scene! All 5 models are now in full production and available to purchase, we now have boats in stores from Devon to Dunfermline and
this is clearly taken quite a lot of our time in fact all of our time.So how have the boats been received by you the paddling public? At hou our aim is to provide you with great boats at great prices and it seems that we are achieving. Our first production boats are the lightest 3 layer polyethylene boats available today. Due to the time proven great designs they are also the toughest and stiffest boats on the market today, we have managed to combine these two vital aspects with great build quality. To produce boats like this was always our aim but to finally see the product in store and more importantly being purchased and used has been a great milestone for everyone concerned.
The most important thing we should say in this article is a big thanks to everyone who has helped us along this journey, from the shops that have backed us as a new brand to the earlier adopters who have left positive messages of encouragement on forums. We look forward to meeting you on the water.
So not wishing to take our foot off the gas where will hou be going next? For sure there are more stores that we would like to see our products in but maybe more importantly is continued focus on what we're about which is making great boats. On going attention to quality control and material development is key and whilst some of the team focus on this there will be other work providing us with "mid season upgrades" just like formula 1!!!
Do not fear about buying a boat right away as these upgrades will be available to all! The last piece of news for now is our soon to be announced 'paddle test' team who will be tasked with three areas of work, product testing, brand promotion and most importantly of all, making us laugh!!!!
So that's all for now a big thanks to all our supporters, more news soon.
